Finding the Throughline: Conversations about the Creative Process invites you into the minds of writers and other creatives as they open up about their process, their doubts, and what kinds of changes they’re thinking about making. The questions are mildly invasive, honestly, and the answers are unvarnished…and so refreshing!
Whether your creative work is writing, painting, making music, parenting, or simply living, Finding the Throughline can help you get—and stay—inspired. Invigorated, even.

[Jinwoo Park, practical matters]: Deciding to go for it with your writing, despite the naysayers Ep 1209
My guest this week is Jinwoo Park, author of the soon-to-be-released “Oxford Soju Club,” which is coming out in September of this year—a riveting story about Korean spies, C.I.A. agents, false identities, love, and betrayal. It also earned Park the Jim Wong-Chu Emerging Writers Award from the Asian Canadian Writers' Workshop.
We covered:
- Using writing as a form of therapy to “figure myself out”- How he decided to go for it and pursue writing more seriously- A great plug for submitting your work for an award–you just might win- Sticking with a manuscript for years- How TikTok helped him get a publishing deal- The difference between creativity and productive creativity- The beauty and importance of a deadline- Making the transition between the day job and creative work- His trick for getting focused as a person with ADHD
